Re: [metatuning] Digest Number 1033

Hi Monz,

Re: another HTML frames question

I just found out why that test in Mozilla Firebird
didn't work. There are several possible ways of
doing the end of lines.

Usual ones are carriage return and line feed
used in various combinations.

But there is another very rare one - the
vertical tab. It is used by Microsoft Word
in some contexts though I don't think
I was using that here. Anyway, somehow my code had got
saved with a couple of vertical tabs
possibly pasted from another document.

All the other browsers recognised those
as new lines, but Mozilla Firebird
(also Firefox) which are strictly speaking
betas by the way - they didn't recognise
it, treated it as a garbage character, and that
apparently skewed up the html for the
whole page. Just opening the file
and resaving it in Wordpad was enough
to fix it.

More about the line feed characters here:

So anyway, if saved in a normal text editor these
should now be okay as examples of how to do it:

I've put up an example web page with a downloadable
zip of the code:

BTW I found another site that shows how to
show definitions of highlighted words in
a window. But it works in all the browsers so far
except for Opera. So more work needed, but here
it is as it is so far:
